Hey, I'm having issues understanding the rhythmic exercises. I know tapping on a keyboard or a mousepad naturally has a bit of delay, but I've tried doing the exercises a couple of times and it still tells me that my taps are either too much or insufficient. Has anyone else had this problem?
@Yossi Patt has asked about this a couple days ago. I copied the link to that post above, for you to find my extensive explanation for Rhythmaniac. You also should always measure and adjust your input delay deficit with the latency compensation settings right here : https://www.tonegym.co/account/latency Depending on processing, the delay can change noticeably between games, stages or sometimes even attempts if one happens to be that unlucky. The auto latency tool sometimes work, but not always for me, so when in doubt, manually test and set it accordingly. Remember that the auto tool as well as default options are only consider input latency and !not the output latency nor both as that is your true delay, Other than putting the right settings, I would assume that your problem doesn't seem to the latency delay, but rather the amount of hits you do opposed to the exact same number as requested by the a stage. If you hit exactly as many times as the question asks for, even with all hits within the first beat on the first bar, so regardless of timing, both games will show both the levels and your live input recorded rhythms in comparison and always will state : Inaccurate! I can't tell you the exact reason since I don't see you playing nor inside your brain while you do it, but try to count the hits of both the example and your input, or the amount of notes and your input, whichever of those 2 games you're playing. If you still feel you get Insufficient tabs, even with a big buffer pause at the last Beat and 4 hits in 4 bars are too blatantly countable, maybe you start in too early... just an option. The easiest way to visualize your current latency is matching the amount of hits while emphasizing the metronome hits and see how accurate they are.
Hey, I got a question about notations. So the Interval notations, like m7 and M7 or d5 and P5 they got me thinking. If my perfect fifth interval starts on G, it is notates as two notes without any accents, like b or #. If it starts on an upper E, it's written with a # on the higher note . Same with the m7. Almost every time the higher note has a b, it is a minor 7 and every time the higher note has a # it is a Major 7, but some times the same distance without any accents is a minor and depending on the starting note it is a Major. Do you have any tips for how to remember this easier other than just pure memorizing?
Hey, thanks @Cuantas Vacas 👌 Yes, I already checked the Crash Course, but I did again, just to see if there wasn't any useful hint or extra trick I missed^^. Your probably right, I mean I know how Intervals are constructed as well as Chords and I'm more or less confident on the treble clave, but practicing more might help me do those calculations in my head faster🧮🤖 I'm to slow to determine the note, call out the semitones, confirm the landing note (the upper one of the interval notation ) and count the steps on a keyboard to know whether the non-accidental interval lands on a #/b or on a whole tone fast enough before the notes pass the line on the left🙃🐢 For now I've passed Intervals and my best approach was to memorize how each root/base/starting note affected every interval. I just hoped that there may be some mnemonic like Empty Garbage Before Dad's Fist inside Face or like wise 😁
@Brian Blades Ahh, ok yeah, that seems like a much easier approach than what I tried to concatenate in my mind 😅 As I don't play any Instrument legitimately nor use musical notations coming composing only in a DAW, I don't have any empirical experience or real life association for the way music is written in claves. I do know, as mentioned above, how to build Intervals and the relation of each note to another expeditiously visualizing piano keys. Your very detailed explanation, nonetheless being familiar with it, revealed the narrowness and limitations of my approach to memorize notation. All I could relate to and took as the foundation for my learning were the questioned notations in Notationist. It was blatantly small-minded to only structure my learning process around the things I encounter while practicing and well, playing these games. Your point of the lower note also having accidentals was eye-opening for me as to how my perception and perspective upon the whole topic and thematic is and that I'd better try to look at the whole picture first, before I try to focus on memorizing situational particularities. 😌
@Mark Phillip Marphy Horch I'm on something like lvl 130 Notationist and it's still all diatonic root notes to Cmaj. I'm wondering if there will ever be any key signatures in this game... The sight reading competitions are similar, root notes are always diatonic to Cmaj
@Mark Phillip Marphy Horch LOL your vocal range is about twice as wide as and almost completely includes mine. I am an alto, E3-F#5 or thereabouts, which ToneGym says is a wider range than 64% of people. I'm not sure where they get their statistics from.
@Aislinn Adams Right? Your register is wider than the usual alto (F3-F5) and that's already 2 octaves. Of course my effective register that I frequently use is basically a Bass, that's what my vocal range setting for the practices is set to, with my chest voice reaching from E2-A4 (though I usually am too lazy and switch to head voice at G#3 since my falsetto can go down to C#3 holding a note for 3-5 seconds😅) With my highest falsetto I barely scratch the upper register of an alto, although it get's very thin and breathy above C5, that still is huge as far as I know. And since I taught myself to sing sub-harmonics I am able to leap down an octave from my chest voice (even my falsetto sometimes), limiting my melodic facet Below E2, but expanded my range by another octave basically.🤸♂️ I never had professional vocal training or coaching, but as far as I know a register stretching across 4 Octaves + is more than twice as wide as the average classifications stretch🤷♂️🤷♂️
@Mark Phillip Marphy Horch LMAO I am over halfway through my second semester of voice training and I think my teacher just mentioned chest voice for the first time a few weeks ago. I don't even know what the terms 'sub-harmonics' or 'melodic facet' mean. It sounds like I have a lot more to learn! XD
Great! However, now that I've fond scores are somewhat exponential when you pass levels in games, I feel the TPI is kind of biaised: it is easier to grind your way in the few games you're comfortable with that trying to improve where you actually need improvements. Maybe there could be another score that tracks the overall progress and that shows nice rewards when you pass a level in the game you're actually worst at? Maybe things will get desperately complicated and I will need to be good everywhere to get the diamond? We'll see :-)
Congrats, Dom^^ I feel you, took me over a month to realize that I basically just needed to binge level notationist to reach silver and gold just a week later. 😌 I still think those 5 milion for diamond will ask for more than just a couple games to be decently leveled.😏 Nonetheless, your achievement shall not be valued less!😏😁💪
